Pinkberry is not a new concept. This idea of real yogurt with fruit toppings as a stand alone store--started in Italy during the early 90's under the name of Baby Yogurt. In fact there is a Baby Yogurt in Westchester County in the Westchester Mall that is even better than Pinkberry!

Yeah really. Freeze FACE brand yogurt or other plain yogurt. Take out of freezer. Put into food processor. Top with fruit.

I couldn't find the place! I just walked by... is it totally hidden? Good to know it's closer to 5th. North or South side?

Tried this yesterday. Different from Bloomingdale's fro-yo which has legions of longtime fans (also $$$, but when ya gotta have it...) PBerry's is icier (read less creamy), slightly less sweet and very cold. Like the décor. Cute plexi stools & such. I still think B'dale's product tastes better, but putting up with the service at 40 Carrots is a drag & the take-out section is a dump. And how come the prices at B'dales 59th St. are higher than in Soho's 2nd floor café?

"Slightly icy and distinctly sour..." Is this a good thing? Your review doesn't really indicate if the stuff was any good. I'll save myself the $$ and get something delicious elsewhere. It's not like we don't have enough to choose from!

I wonder how this will compare to the "real frozen yogurt" native to New York - that at Forty Carrots in Bloomingdales.

hmm. i haven't tried this yet - but surely it must be good? i feel like this place is covered on eater or curbed 2x a day. i'm intrigued by the salty/tangy and the simplicity.

You know something is wrong if a trend starts in the West and then migrates east. We gave them pastrami sandwiches and pizza; they give us frozen yogurt? Wait a minute, didn't this craze already take the country by storm in the '80s?

stingy portions, outrageous prices....better in LA than NYC. NO THANKS! For those prices head over to WholeFoods and get yourself a pint of amazing Mexican corn ice cream. Ed Levine originally turned me on it and it's really awesome!

I can't wait to become addicted to a new fro-yo. I did enjoy the frozen "tea" concoctions, but you can't find those very often.

"Crackberry" already has a specific cultural reference. This could get confusing.
